Why A Gymnastics Course?

I understand your frustration in gymnastics. I’ve spent over 2 years grinding in the hardcore Gymnastics Strength Training before realizing that Einstein was really right...out of the clutter is where you find simplicity.

This course is what I wish it would be:

• FUN in a GROUP environment
• Complementary to Group Class aka our awesome CrossFit group classes! (I had to do my course as the only thing…it was a double-edged sword!)
• Guaranteed Results (I can’t guarantee a pull-up…but I can guarantee you’ll be MUCH closer than figuring it out on your own…oh what a decade can teach…)
• Scalability Options (I would’ve stopped butterfly kipping LONG AGO – oh, how taxing they are…I would’ve exploited ALL the rows and push-up variations instead of starring at the bar or ground)
• Energizing (No death grind – just Jamo for an hour – and that’s the anti-death grind!)

In the last post we discussed Motor Learning and why and how it increases performance.

This post we’ll discuss the Why, How, and What our Gymnastics Specialty Course starting July 17th will literally be about!

Why THIS Course is Beneficial

• Simplest Way to Increase Performance is Through Drilling Mechanics Consistently
  • Proprioception is knowing where your body is when you move. Gymnastics is ALL ABOUT THIS. What’s it transfer to? EVERYTHING!!!
• Decrease Symptoms of Soreness
  • Do you like being sore? No one does!
  • Increase Proprioception, Increase muscles abilities to relax and contract. Simple 🙂
• Increase all Physical Motor Learning Capabilities (Performance)
  • The more we can relate movement to other movement, the easier it is to learn anything and everything!
• Exploit Pull-ups in ALL Workouts
• Exploit Push-ups in ALL Workouts
  • Including Burpees (we won’t do one)
• Increase Confidence
  • You will do things you’ve never thought you could. We’ll smash those barriers!
  • The more we do. The more confident we’ll become!
• Increase Reaction Time (Which Increases Performance!)
• Increase Range of Motion
  • The magic is in the movement!
• Increase the FUN Factor
  • You don’t know ‘FUN’ unless you’ve been to one of our Group classes.
  • This is all about ‘FUN’ and the work is but a byproduct of it!

Consistency and Mechanics in Unlimited Amount of Variations…We simply cannot become bored in Fitness and LEARNING our own amazing bodies!
